Historic South Park

Coffeehouse and Bake Shop

Located in the Historic South Park Neighborhood, the original location of Ghostlight Coffee has been Dayton’s quintessential neighborhood coffeehouse since 2011. Craft Coffee, Espresso, Tea and Baked Goods made by our own bakers offered in what has come to be known as “Dayton’s Living Room.”

Midtown Dayton

Coffee Bar & Eatery

In 2019 we joined Old Scratch Pizza, Rinse Cycle and Grismer Tire at the intersection of Patterson Blvd. and Stout Street - revitalizing a little known section of town known as Midtown Dayton. We added a delicious breakfast & lunch menu alongside our craft coffee and made-from-scratch baked goods. If our original location was “Dayton’s Living Room,” then Midtown certainly must be “Dayton’s Dining Room.”

2nd Street Market

DOUGH, a bakery by Ghostlight

While Ghostlight Coffee has been baking from scratch for over 9 years, in 2022 the bakers took center stage in their own space at Dayton’s Five Rivers Metroparks 2nd St. Market. Visitors will find fresh BAGELS, SANDWICHES, SOUP and PASTRIES - all Made-From-Scratch, and very tasty!

Kettering Bakehouse and Shop

Ghostlight recently acquired the former location of Belmont Bakery after the longtime owners, Frank & Debbie Cetone retired. We have been renovating the kitchen spaces to house our bakery operations. We plan to open the storefront for walk-in service later this year. In the meantime, visit one of our open locations for made-from-scratch baked goods by our very talented group of bakers!
